Alrighty! One gallon of muriatic acid went in the pool last night and I built two return port fountains from 8:00 of Home Depot PVC. Funny thing is they look pretty good and my wife and kids actually like them! I plan on trying to do a gallon of acid a day with the filter/fountains running at least 6-8 hours a day. I'll test each night and make sure my pH doesn't drop below 6.8.
I have one question though, I have a bunch of HTH Dry Acid (pH Minus). Can I use this up and then move to muriatic acid? I ask because I bought the lst gallon from the hardware store and he's not getting any more in until Wednesday and I want to keep going with this. . .
Thanks guys,
Bill
Yes, but it usually takes a lot more dry acid than muriatic to get the job done.
You might be surprised how much time your kids spend playing in the fountain. We have a slide in our pool, but the kids spend much less time actually sliding than they do playing in the runoff from the slide!

Thanks guys. I'm off the test again.
True about the fountain! The kids can't get enough. I want to get a slide next year, but they're so expensive.
Take care,
Bill
